81. [TowerTalk] Mot R36 related to NUMBER of installed ground rods (score: 1)

Im laying out the ground rod scheme for the towers. As I look at Mot R56, it seems like about 45 of rods gets you to the 5 ohm target based on one of the graphics they provide Thats about 9 ground ro

In one of the Polyphaser documents they talk about the rise time and length of a strike duration. Forget the details but the conclusion was that rods further out than about 50' would not be effective

One of the docs that refers to the 50/75 is the Ham Radio Grounding doc. On fresh look they say the radial should be 50-75' in length referring to the 50' as "minimum". So I guess that makes the basi

Oh, I should have said that there are rods at the base of the concrete pad edge, with a connection from each of the 3 rods up to the tower leg. That was put in to get a positive response from the cou

I put the arrestors at the coax feed points into my shack at the home run panel location. And also out at the tower base on the termination of each antenna stack feeder. The reason for that is I want

That is exactly the value of something like AutoEZ. You don't have go by gut feeling making a guess, or based on subjective opinions of others. You can KNOW the implication before making the physical

But you are talking about a 4-square and not a vertical. So this experiment shows that a vertical with a fatter element is more broadbanded and that certainly implies the same with a 4-square, but it

What about insulated stranded? You give up some of the ground to conductor surface area but the wire compared to the rods is a pretty minimal part of the network. Right? 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alp

For a basic yagi, multiband or otherwise, NEC2 works fine. Where NEC4 provides an advantage is with unusual geometries and features in the ground. 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie

The issue is not the value of the actual Z.  The issue is that the reported peak Z frequency can be very far removed from the true value.  Hence the problem.  If you build a monster Z choke but it's
